Got a small problem on our '78 Argosy. The problem is, everytime we wind it up, the nut keeps coming off the threaded shaft on the front right stabilizer jack. Any ideas on correcting this? Gettin' tired of lying on my back in the mud to put it back on. We don't have this issue on the other three. Doesn't seem to matter how tight I get it.

Hi Dave; Simplest solution to that problem is to use Pinch nut or Nylock Nut. Thanks, "Boatdoc"

Another alternative to nylon locking nuts ("Nylok") and/or Locktite, is a jamb nut, which is a second nut threaded onto the shaft and tightened down onto the first nut. It works best if you tighten nut one thoroughly and then hold it in place with a wrench while tightening nut two down onto it.
